While Texas isn’t usually known for its mountains, the western portion of the state boasts numerous mountain campsites with stunning scenery.

The Texas Parks and Wildlife Department announced on Wednesday that it had acquired nearly 54,000 acres of Texas Hill Country, land that is slated to become Silver Lake State Park.

Texans will soon have a massive new state park to explore, second only to Big Bend Ranch State Park in size. Silver Lake Ranch, the 54,000-acre plot of land spanning Edwards and Kinney counties, was owned by the Moody Foundation, and now, largely thanks to a major philanthropic gift, it’s headed into public hands.

For the category of Best State Park for 2026, Mohican State Park took the second spot and Hocking Hills State Park was ranked 5th.
